plenty of time to warn about this, especially with the immense
coverage and media OLPC has had in the last couple of years, why wait
until now? I mean, the patent holder works in the computer field, and
(unless they've been living under a rock in Nigeria) he must have
known of the OLPC and the XO for LONG time. Why not say anything
before?
Because before it would have been a lot easier for OLPC to make a
change. But now things are so far along, that OLPC may find it a lot
harder to change and will need to either prove their case in court or
come to a settlement. That's the typical strategy, wait until it's the
most painful time possible to launch your attack.
